Excellent Alternatives to Blinds
Shop with us today for modern alternatives to blinds for Washington homes. Whether you’re looking for a softer aesthetic or additional features, the diverse collection of Hunter Douglas shades and shutters offers you many unique options. Join our team at Walls & Windows as we delve into available shades and shutters near Bellingham, Washington, looking at how they are similar and different to traditional Venetian or vertical blinds.
Alternatives to Venetian Blinds
We like traditional shutters and modern sheer shades as alternatives to blinds with horizontal vanes for their similar visual aesthetic. Hunter Douglas sheer shades and shutters come in multiple styles for nuanced adaptations to your lifestyle and aesthetic tastes.
Shutters
Like blinds, shutters are a hard window treatment that uses tilting vanes to control incoming sunlight. Also, like blinds, Hunter Douglas shutters can be made from various materials, including genuine hardwood and artificial synthetics.
- Heritance® Wood Shutters: Genuine hardwood shutters with a classic, sophisticated style, and for every treatment sold, Hunter Douglas donates to the Arbor Day Foundation.
- Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters: The only style of Hunter Douglas interior shutters compatible with PowerView® Automation for a motorized alternative to blinds.
- NewStyle® Composite Shutters: Designed to be ultra-durable for high-traffic areas and high-energy homes.
Sheer Shades
Several styles of sheer shades from Hunter Douglas share the horizontal linear pattern of Venetian blinds but use unique fabric elements. This feature creates a similar visual design but with a softer aesthetic.
- Pirouette® Sheer Shades: A light-loving window treatment with UV protection and a gracefully contoured design.
- Silhouette® Sheer Shades: Over 150 fabric choices for light-enhancing window shades perfectly in tune with your existing home decor.
Alternatives to Vertical Blinds
Hunter Douglas also has several alternatives to blinds for vertical applications. These unique treatments come from the strategic combination of vertical blind attributes with the features of other popular Hunter Douglas shades.
Panel Track Blinds
A visually stunning alternative to traditional vertical blinds, panel track blinds share the operational movement of vertical blinds but have a wholly different aesthetic. Fabric-wrapped panels are used instead of hanging vanes, which put textiles front and center in this unique window treatment.
- Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds: Ideal for large windows, sliding glass doors, or as room dividers.
Sheer Panels
By adding sheer material between the hanging vanes of classic vertical blinds, Hunter Douglas created sheer panels, an alternative to blinds that brings UV protection and a softer style to the treatment yet maintains the easy-to-use design of vertical blinds.
- Luminette® Sheer Panels: Choose these light-diffusing shades that balance privacy, UV protection, and a graceful sense of style in your home.
